A.2 User Access to Database Targets without SYSDBA Privileges

A user may need to perform operation on a database target such as:

Monitor Performance Page

Review and administer AWR

Use SQL Access Advisor

Use SQL Tuning

In circumstances where a user is required to access database monitoring/management functions in Enterprise Manager but has not been given full SYSDBA access to database targets, you can create an Enterprise Manager administrator and give him the EM_USER and PUBLIC roles as well as, "Connect to any viewable target" privileges to the database targets that you want the administrator to access.

In the following steps we will grant "Connect to any viewable target" to all targets (instead of listing specific target instances). Depending on the type of authentication model being used, the administrator details will be stored in either the Cloud Control Repository or an external store, such as LDAP.

A.2.1 Creating an Administrator

From the Setup menu, select Security and then Administrators.

Click Create.

From the Create Administrator: Properties page, enter all necessary information, including the password profile as enforced by your security team. In the graphic shown below,"Expire password now", has been selected so that when this user logs in with the temporary password, they will be forced to reset their password.

Once you have entered the requisite information, click Next.

From the Create Administrator: Roles Page, choose the default roles and click Next.

From the Create Administrator: Target Privilege page, Select the Connect to any viewable target privilege. This allows the administrator to connect to all targets viewable in his console.

Click Next.

From the Resource page, click Next. This accepts the default settings.

Review your settings on the Review page. Click Finish.

Valid users must reside on the target instances.
